A Man Pretended He Was A Deutsche Banker On Match.com And Then Stole Women's Identities To Rob Them Of Their Savings

An Indian citizen called Jaitass Dhanoa called himself Jay D.
Singh on matchmaking sites like Match.com and IndianDating.com.

And that's not all he lied about, according to the DOJ.

In his online seduction of several unsuspecting ladies, he "lied
about his name, his background, his citizenship, his employment,
and his intentions," the
Department of Justice said.

He told his victims he was an American citizen who worked for
Deutsche Bank, and the IMF. He even created fake Deutsche Bank
email accounts to corroborate his ruse.

Then, after he gained each woman's trust, he stole their credit
cards and their identities, and then applied for extra credit
cards with those new personal details, according to the DOJ.

Dhanoa's three main victims -- there may have been up to 11 --
"were each led to believe they were Dhanoa’s sole romantic
interest," and only discovered his lies when the credit card
companies called them to ask about suspicious activity on their
accounts,
Philly.com reported, (via
Dealbreaker).

One of the victims was even engaged to marry the guy, until
another one of his victims got in touch with her to reveal the
truth.

"He created a relationship where I kept falling more and more in
love," the victim [said] in a long, angry statement. She said
Dhanoa at one point had presented her with an expensive diamond
pendant. She later discovered he had paid for it with a credit
card he fraudulently opened under her name.

In December 2009, she bought tickets and was ready to fly to
Hawaii, supposedly to meet Dhanoa's parents, but he suddenly
canceled the trip the day before departure, leaving her in tears.

Dhanoa was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in jail last week.
He admitted he "trolled internet dating sites looking for
victims, especially women of Indian descent," the
Times Of India reported.

He said in court "he had never had a girlfriend as a teenager and
had only been seeking love,"
Philly.com reported.
